One of the seminal musicians of the 20th century, Billy Joel continues his legacy today with live tours and a permanent residency at New York’s Madison Square Garden.

Record-Setting MSG Run, Arena Shows in Store for Billy Joel in 2015

As expected, the historic Billy Joel Madison Square Garden residency was a smash hit in its first year, with each month’s show having sold out and planned 2015 events not showing signs of slowing down sales-wise any time soon. Joel will break his own MSG record on Jan. 9 as his first concert date of 2015 will mark his 13th in the residency. The singer previously played 12 shows during a run in 2006. Per the terms of the residency, Joel will continue to return to the venue at least once a month as long as demand calls for it.

Away from New York, Joel also has plotted concert events in Dallas (Jan. 22), Miami (Jan. 31), and Atlanta (Feb. 28) for the opening months of the year. The “Piano Man” also will be busy again for New Year’s Eve and will ring in 2015 from the Amway Center in Orlando. Concert announcements followed a similar pattern in 2014 as Joel never formally announced a tour but rather added dates sporadically throughout the year. Notable shows included Wrigley Field, Fenway Park, and Hollywood Bowl, among others.

New Madison Square Garden Record in Sight as Billy Joel Continues Historic Run

The decision to make Billy Joel Madison Square Garden’s first-ever music franchise has proven to be just as popular as expected, and even more success may soon be on the way for the legendary musician. As of June 26, the singer has sold out all 12 of his MSG residency shows scheduled for 2014, which ties his own record first set at the historic New York City venue during a run in 2006. The establishment of Joel’s residency also assured that the “Piano Man” will play at least one Madison Square Garden concert a month for as long as fans demand it, which means a potential Jan. 2015 performance would essentially be the record-breaker, and all ensuing performances would help further extend the already impressive mark.

Despite heavy speculation, outside of his permanent NYC stint, Joel ultimately did not plot any kind of formal tour for 2014, but did make sure to schedule plenty of one-off shows at various sites around the country. As of late June, Joel is set to perform at a handful of MLB stadiums including Fenway Park (June 26), Wrigley Field (July 18), Nationals Park (July 26), and Citizens Bank Park (Aug. 2), in addition to making a rare appearance in Canada for the Festival d’ete de Quebec on July 11.

MSG Residency, Wrigley Field Concert Ahead for Billy Joel in 2014

A busy 2014 is ahead for the legendary Billy Joel, who has kept the announcements and surprises coming for his many generations of fans. The momentum had essentially been building since October, when the "Piano Man" packed Long Island's modest Paramount Theater with an impromptu performance of rare and popular songs. Not long after, Joel began lining up shows in his native New York, which were eventually revealed to be dates for his historic Madison Square Garden residency. As the venue's fourth official franchise, Joel will play at least one MSG concert a month as long as the demand still supports it. The partnership could very well last a long time too, considering Joel already set the venue record for "Longest Run of a Single Artist" back in 2006 with 12 straight sold-out shows.

Outside of the Empire State, Joel also will be making appearances in various cities throughout each month, many of which have not hosted him in several years. One such site is Chicago, which will welcome Joel to Wrigley Field for a second time on July 18 for his first solo Windy City show in seven years. Other notable tour stops include two nights at the Hollywood Bowl (May 17 and 22) and a performance at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas (June 7).

Billy Joel Tour Rumors Swirling

After Billy Joel surprised fans with a nearly impromptu show at Long Island’s Paramount Theater on Oct. 16, rumors naturally began swirling that a full-fledged tour may be on the way for 2014. It’s been some time since fans got a live look at the “Piano Man,” and those lucky enough to be in attendance for his first full show since 2010 were treated to the rarest of setlists. As noted by Rolling Stone, Joel reportedly told the crowd he would not be playing his usual hits, and though he kept his promise for the majority of the night, showcasing songs that perhaps even took diehard fans a few moments to recognize, he also made sure to circle back and perform some of his familiar classics as well.

As he prepares to head overseas for a brief European tour, the latest news has left many to speculate that Joel is ready to embark on something more substantial, and may be itching to try out some of those lesser-known, lesser-played songs inside jam-packed stadiums and arenas. Based on the demand of the single show, a Billy Joel tour is just what fans are hoping for.
